Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, Vol. 1: Divergent Strike (Gundam (Tokyopop) (Graphic Novels)) 2 reviews Liu Goto
TokyoPop, 2005
Sadly mistake-ridden
+ Worth a Look
I would definitely give this novel a rave review--I'm a sucker for anything featuring the Gundam SEED story--if it weren't for all the mistakes. The novel isn't adapted very well, although sometimes you stumble upon a sentence that does a great job of describing something or someone, like "There ...

Hot Gimmick S (Shojo Beat Fiction) 6 reviews Megumi Nishizaki
VIZ Media LLC, 2007
Not as bad as they say, not as good as I'd hoped.
I recieved this last night, and I finished it in about an hour and a half.
The writing style is a bit choppy at the beginning; the first quarter to half of the book is a rehash of the manga, up to the end of the series. Instead of meeting Ryoki at their "special place" she does not go to say ...

Rurouni Kenshin: Voyage to the Moon World 2 reviews Kaoru Shizuka
VIZ Media LLC, 2006
This is not a "joke"!
This works better if you pay less attention to the show and more attention to the manga. The stories in this novel are along the lines of stories Watsuki had no time to draw.
Of course, anyone who has seen the anime will recognize the first story "Voyage to the Moon World" as a third season ...

Clamp School Paranormal Investigators, Vol. 1 1 review Tomiyuki Matsumoto, Jamie S. Rich
TokyoPop, 2004
short, yet still entertaining
This novel is an extension of the world created in the light-hearted CLAMP School manga such as CLAMP School Detectives, Campus Defenders Duklyon, and Man of Many Faces, even with the inclusion of campus-destroying monsters. The characters aren't similar to the ones in that run of manga, however; ...
